"Robert is a consumate professional from start to finish. Despite my demanding design requirements and exacting finish specifications, he met every challenge head on and was a perfect ambassador for his company the entire time.
I cannot overstate the perfection achieved in the coins he provided. My expectations were significantly exceeded in the finish and quality of the final product.
Despite the challenges of working with an overseas factory and workforce, he made sure my requirements were met at the end of the day. We are in our second run, which includes another design change, and I'm sure it will be nothing less than spectacular.
I have nothing but high praise for the patience, professionalism and enthusiasm that Robert provides. I highly recommend him for any of the services and products he and his company can deliver."

If quality and attentive customer service is important to you, then Jewelry Designers Resource Center must be at the top of your list. When presented with the Navy SEALs Fund solidarity lapel pin design, they got completely behind the project, created a beautiful model and oversaw the production of beautiful cast pins reminiscent of classic military collar brass. All who bought the pin to support the fund rave over the quality and beauty of craftsmanship...I couldn't be more pleased!

My latest order of challenge coins for the US Army BIG RED ONE 1st Division reunion this year has again exceded my expectations these coins will be an honor to present to the distinguished fine men and women of the first division. I recieved coins that I believe will be muesum collectors pieces for this proud division.
The entire process from beginning to end was a pleasure. The quality of the product is incredible. The finished piece is exactly as I had envisioned it.

Hi I was toying with an idea for a pin to symbolize love and found out from my friend that this is her son's business (small world).
Anyhow, I would like to dispel the myth that business and friendship don't mix. I am thoroughly pleased with the out come of my design (even though, as an artist, I can always find something to tweak with my work).
I have learned that the real beauty of life is in the imperfections.
From an idea in my head,to the proto-type I made, to the samples I received,and then the finished product so I could add the wire work and crystals ... Well, I think the pictures speak for themselves...

I'm a US Army Vietnam veteran, the purple heart pins I purchased for my attedance to reunions were a big success. There quality , superior workmanship and attention to detail is apparent in this product.
Well I was completely satisfied with the cost, quality, and timely service I recieved from making my initial order. I do intend to continue to my relationship with and purchases from Jewelry Designers Resource Center.
Regarding the charity that they support, The Collateral Growth Foundation, of Raleigh, NC. has a project sponsored and partially financd by lapel-pins.org in Angeles City, Pampanga, Philippines.
I have visited this project site and the work being done there was interesting enough to me, that I voluteered my time and skills to assist in the finish construction of a training center.
This training center was created to help the local filipinos learn to create manage and operate a business of their own. This is noble work, and it is moving to see it in action. I look forward to visiting again.

I have purchased many different lapel pins from Robert at JDRC. Including hundreds of Purple Hearts for our 11 A.C.R. reunions. As a retired U.S. Army Armored Cavalry NCO I attend many reunions.
He repeatedly exceeds all requirements, delivers on time and under budget!
His specialty work is " BEYOND THE CALL" He made replica 26th U.S. Cavalry pins that have not been seen since the fall of the Philippines in 1942.
The 26th is also known as the fabled "Philippine Scouts "! They were ecstatic with his workmanship and attention to detail.
You are lucky to have him as an associate!
ALLONS!
